We are truly delighted to be offering a very special aviation tour of the DPRK in 2015. Taking place during the 60th Anniversary of the commencement of Air Koryo operations, this week long extravaganza features flying opportunities on the entire Air Koryo fleet of aircraft (9 types in total), as well as a range of unique events to make this an unmissable tour!

Having listened to our customers, we have refined the itinerary to include even more flying than previous years, including as standard two legs on the venerable Ilyushin IL-62 between Pyongyang and Samjiyon. The Ilyushin IL-18 will now fly to a new destination never visited before on our tours, Tongchon Airport, gateway to the picturesque Kumgang mountains. Added to this will be the Tupolev Tu-134 and Antonov An-24 flights between Pyongyang and Sondok on the East coast, optional joyride flights on the Ilyushin IL-76, Tupolev Tu-154 and Antonov An-148, and the chance to take Air Koryo VIP configuration Mil-17 helicopter flights to the Myohyang mountains. For the die-hard fans, we are even offering an optional IL-62 joyride on the other airframe, so enthusiasts can bag both aircraft during the tour.

Further aviation opportunities include a visit to the mind-blowing KPA Arms and Exhibition Hall, where examples of all KPA Air Force front line aircraft can be viewed, plus Q&A sessions with the Air Koryo aircrew and the usual extensive photography and filming opportunities. A very special gala banquet dinner will be hosted by Air Koryo to celebrate the 60th Anniversary, including music and dancing by the airline’s in-house band. We are also hopeful that the Mass Games will be running in 2015 during the tour, bringing yet another great feature to an already packed itinerary.
